Rome Mind Map Sharing

Check out some of the Rome Mind Maps we made today in social studies. Great way to see Roman topics visually!

Updated "Showcase"

One of the many purposes of this blog is to share student work. So, as we close out our ancient India unit, I thought we would take a look at the showcase and see the new items I've added. Great work everyone!

Check out some Egypt Tackks!

Friday we worked on creating Egypt Tackks. Despite our 40 minutes together, we were able to produce some nice looking websites about Egypt. For this in class activity, our goal was to create a website on Egypt with as many topics as we could in the time allotted. This was a first time experience for both me and you, so it was good to see what we were able to come up with in 40 minutes and how saving went. Unfortunately, some sites were not saved. In 8th period, I had selected the wrong "setting" on the save page, so those tackks are not viewable, and for that I apologize. I feel bad because as I was walking around during 8th period, I saw some really good stuff and I was eager to share that! Technology is great, but sometimes the wrong setting is selected and its not great.

For any 8th period student, or any student in general, if you would like to create another Egypt tackk for me to share on WSG, I would be very happy. To do so, click the link below and create your new tackk without logging in. After you have completed your new tackk, simply copy and paste the website address and post it in a comment. Thank you!

Creating an Egyptian Tackk

Today we will be creating an Egypt Tackk. A Tackk is a tool that allows us to show what we know and share our Egypt knowledge. Max effort is needed on a day like today because I want you to create a quality tackk in the time we have together. There are two links that you need to use: the Tackk creator link and the link to save your website for sharing next week. Your task, details, and tools are already set up for you. So, let's continue with our Tackk creation.

Medieval Times Partner Prezi Project

Time to roll up our sleeves and get to work. You and a partner will be joining together to select, research, create, and share. We are all going to become experts in a specific topic of the Medieval Times. We will then create a dynamic Prezi and share our hard work and knowledge with the rest of the class. This project will take some time, but that is okay because we have 3 straight days in the computer lab. This is a rare occurrence, so be sure to take advantage of this opportunity. The Medieval Times offers some fascinating topics, so lets dig in and see whats our there.
